If you want to see a list of all payers whose invoices you can download through RebateWeb, click on the Participating Payers menu option or the corresponding link at the bottom of the page. This will take you to a list of participating payers which contains the following information:
Organization Name. This is the name of an organization that processes drug rebate invoices which can be downloaded through RebateWeb.
CMS Invoice Contact. This is the name of the individual who should be contacted if you have questions about invoices from this organization.
Phone #. Primary contact's phone number, including extension where applicable.
Email. The email address of the CMS Invoice Contact.
The last three fields on the list pertain to rebate programs which are administered by the organization. Multiple programs may be listed for a single organization.
Plan Type. This has three values:
Federal. This indicates that the program is part of the national drug rebate program which began in 1991 and is overseen by CMS. Each state may participate in this program. Some states separate their federal rebates into multiple programs - this is seen chiefly when a state prefers to handle outpatient medical claims with a drug component separate from pharmacy claims.
Supplemental. This represents a program where additional rebates are negotiated for claims which are initially invoiced under a federal program.
State. This may be any kind of program (other than Supplemental) which is sponsored directly by a state. Contracts for rebate for such a program may be negotiated between state and manufacturer representatives. Some programs "piggyback" on the federal program and contracts are assumed to exist with all labelers which are participating in the federal program.
Rebate Program Cd. This is the code which represents a specific rebate program.
Check Payee Cd. One or more rebate programs may be assigned a given check payee code. If a state will accept checks or EFTs that include payment for more than one rebate program, then those programs will be assigned the same check payee code. If the check payee codes for two rebate programs are different, then separate checks should be sent for those programs. This is of particular relevance when you are sending Electronic Reconciliation Statements via RebateWeb.
